8. Connect the other end of the network cable into a port on your Ethernet hub.
9. Reconnect the power cable and turn on your computer.
10. You may need to follow Step 2: BIOS Configuration. If not, continue to Step 3:
Driver Installation and follow the section for your operating system to complete
installation of the PCI Network Adaptor.
NOTE:
You may be asked for your original Windows® CD during the
installation process, please have it ready. If your computer
came with Windows® pre loaded the installation files may be
located in C:\windows\option\cabs folder.
Step 2: BIOS Configuration
Due to a fault in some Plug-n-Play BIOS programs, it happens occasionally that a newly
installed adapter is assigned an Interrupt Number which is already assigned to another
device.
In such a case, the conflict of Interrupt Number will cause faults in the behavior of both
devices. Then it is necessary to run the CMOS Setup utility, and manually assign a non-
conflicting Interrupt Number.

Troubleshooting
If you experience any problems with the adapter, first verify that the appropriate driver is
loaded, that the proper grade of cable is employed for the network connection, and that
the supporting hub is functioning properly.
1. Ascertain that the adapter card is fully and firmly seated in the slot connector.
2. Check the length and rating of connecting cables.
3. Ascertain that the adapter’s PCI slot is not deactivated at the BIOS level. The CMOS
Setup utility in PCI computers ordinarily provides the option to activate or deactivate
PCI slots.
4. Replace the adapter in question with a verified adapter and run DIAG.EXE diagnostic
tests on the 110/100Mbps Driver CD-ROM from the D:\DIAG\ directory (where “D”
is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).
5. Install the questioned adapter in another PCI computer and run the tests again.
Remove all other PCI adapters from the computer and run the tests again. If the
verification/diagnostic run is not normal, then there is probably an interrupt number
conflict which will have to be resolved manually by a CMOS Setup utility run after you
have reinstalled all of the expansion cards.

Appendix A: Glossary
Access Point:
An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and
wireless networks.
Ad-Hoc:
An independent wireless LAN network formed by a group of
computers, each with a network adapter.
AP Client:
One of the additional AP operating modes offered by a 54Mbps
Access Point, which allows the Access Point to act as an Ethernet-
to-Wireless Bridge, thus a LAN or a single computer station can join
a wireless ESS network through it.
ASCII:
American Standard Code for Information Interchange, ASCII, is one
of the two formats that you can use for entering the values for WEP
key. It represents English letters as numbers from 0 to 127.
Authentication Type:
Indication of an authentication algorithm which can be supported by
the Access Point.
1. Open System: Open System authentication is the simplest
of the available authentication algorithms. Essentially it is a null
authentication algorithm. Any station that requests authentication
with this algorithm may become authenticated if 802.11
Authentication Type at the recipient station is set to Open System
authentication.
2. Shared Key: Shared Key authentication supports authentication
of stations as either a member of those who knows a shared secret
key or a member of those who does not.
Backbone:
The core infrastructure of a network, which transports information
from one central location to another where the information is
unloaded into a local system.

Bandwidth:
Beacon:
The transmission capacity of a device, which is calculated by
how much data the device can transmit in a fixed amount of time
expressed in bits per second (bps).
A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Access Point to keep the
network synchronized. Included in a beacon are information such
as wireless LAN service area, the AP address, the Broadcast
destination addresses, time stamp, Delivery Traffic Indicator Maps,
and the Traffic Indicator Message (TIM).
Bit:
A binary digit, which is either -0 or -1 for value, is the smallest unit
for data.
Bridge:
Browser:
BSS:
An internetworking function that incorporates the lowest 2 layers of
the OSI network protocol model.
An application program that enables one to read the content and
interact in the World Wide Web or Intranet.
BSS stands for “Basic Service Set”. It is an Access Point and all the
LAN PCs that associated with it.
Channel:
The bandwidth which wireless Radio operates is divided into
several segments, which we call them “Channels”. AP and the client
stations that it associated work in one of the channels.
CSMA/CA:
In local area networking, this is the CSMA technique that combines
slotted time -division multiplexing with carrier sense multiple access/
collision detection (CSMA/CD) to avoid having collisions occur a
second time. This works best if the time allocated is short compared
to packet length and if the number of situations is small.

YML567 Rev2
CSMA/CD:
Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection, which is a
LAN access method used in Ethernet. When a device wants to
gain access to the network, it checks to see if the network is quiet
(senses the carrier). If it is not, it waits a random amount of time
before retrying. If the network is quiet and two devices access
the line at exactly the same time, their signals collide. When the
collision is detected, they both back off and wait a random amount
of time before retrying.
DHCP:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which is a protocol that lets
network administrators manage and allocate Internet Protocol
(IP) addresses in a network. Every computer has to have an IP
address in order to communicate with each other in a TCP/IP based
infrastructure network. Without DHCP, each computer must be
entered in manually the IP address. DHCP enables the network
administrators to assign the IP from a central location and each
computer receives an IP address upon plugged with the Ethernet
cable everywhere on the network.
DSSS:
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. DSSS generates a redundant
bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called
a chip (or chipping code). The longer the chip, the greater the
probability that the original data can be recovered. Even if one or
more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical
techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data
without the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver,
DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected
(ignored) by most narrowband receivers.
Dynamic IP Address: An IP address that is assigned automatically to a client station in a
TCP/IP network by a DHCP server.

Encryption:
ESS:
A security method that uses a specific algorithm to alter the data
transmitted, thus prevent others from knowing the information
transmitted.
ESS stands for “Extended Service Set”. More than one BSS is
configured to become Extended Service Set. LAN mobile users can
roam between different BSSs in an ESS.
ESSID:
The unique identifier that identifies the ESS. In infrastructure
association, the stations use the same ESSID as AP’s to get
connected.
Ethernet:
A popular local area data communications network, originally
developed by Xerox Corp., that accepts transmission from
computers and terminals. Ethernet operates on a 10/100 Mbps
base transmission rate, using a shielded coaxial cable or over
shielded twisted pair telephone wire.
Fragmentation:
When transmitting a packet over a network medium, sometimes
the packet is broken into several segments, if the size of packet
exceeds that allowed by the network medium.
Fragmentation
Threshold:
The Fragmentation Threshold defines the number of bytes used for
the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. The purpose of
“Fragmentation Threshold” is to increase the transfer reliability thru
cutting a MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) into several MAC Protocol
Data Units (MPDU) in smaller size. The RF transmission can not
allow to transmit too big frame size due to the heavy interference
caused by the big size of transmission frame. But if the frame size is
too small, it will create the overhead during the transmission.
Gateway:
A device that interconnects networks with different, incompatible
communication protocols.

Infrastructure:
ISM Band:
An infrastructure network is a wireless network or other small
network in which the wireless network devices are made a part of
the network through the Access Point which connects them to the
rest of the network.
he FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside
bandwidth for unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and
Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4GHz, in particular, is
being made available worldwide.
MAC Address:
Media Access Control Address is a unique hex number assigned
by the manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such
as a network adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the
hardware level.
Multicasting:
Sending data to a group of nodes instead of a single destination.
Multiple Bridge:
One of the additional AP operating modes offered by 54Mbps
Access Point, which allows a group of APs that consists of two or
more APs to connect two or more Ethernet networks or Ethernet
enabled clients together. The way that multiple bridge setups is
based on the topology of Ad-Hoc mode.

PPDU:
Preamble:
The ‘preamble’ is a sequence of bits transmitted at 1Mbps that
synchronises wireless transmission within the network. The Short
Preamble and header may be used to minimize overhead and,
thus, maximize the network data throughput. However, the Short
Preamble is supported only by the IEEE 802.11b (High- Rate)
standard and not by the original IEEE 802.11standard; meaning that
stations using Short-Preamble cannot communicate with stations
implementing the original version of the protocol.

PLCP service data unit
Roaming:
A LAN mobile user moves around an ESS and enjoys a continuous
connection to an Infrastructure network.
RTS:
Request To Send. An RS-232 signal sent from the transmitting
station to the receiving station requesting permission to transmit.

Transmitters contending for the medium may not be aware of each
other. RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this “Hidden Node Problem”.
If the packet size is smaller than the preset RTS Threshold size, the
RTS/CTS mechanism will NOT be enabled.
SSID:
Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all
clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical
for each clients and nodes in the wireless network.
